Africa: the threats of homophobia
First come the Americans. Second, comes the law. Third, comes the protest. According to a recent article published by The New York Times, the Ugandan politician who promoted the blamed bill on homosexuality – the 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill – had been previously inspired by “his evangelical friends in the American government” and by the meetings which took place in Kampala to educate people in “curing gays”. But apart from the role of religious emphasis on this issue, which is breaking walls, uncovering sufferings, leaving scars and splitting the Ugandan community, it is the whole of Africa that has to face the anti homosexuality movement in its borders.
